Live
Totallytics Live shows hits the moment the tracking script sends them, as a stream for one website or as a world map for every website you own, so you can check an install and watch visitors arrive without waiting for reports.
Open the stream
Open a website and choose the Live tab. The stream starts with the last 5 minutes of hits, newest on top, then adds each new hit as it arrives, usually within a second.
Each row shows the time, the hit type (pageview, event, append or error), the page or event name, the device, browser and country, a short visitor id, and a Visit label when the hit counted as a new visit. Click a row to see the query string, referrer, operating system, event metadata and the city-level location.
Live needs a signed-in session: open it from the dashboard while you are logged in. API keys cannot open it.
Check your own install
Open your website in another tab and turn on Only my traffic. The stream then keeps only the hits sent from the browser you are using, matched on your network address and browser. The 5 minutes of history loaded when the page opens are never marked as yours.
If nothing arrives, follow the quickstart to check the script tag.
Pause, filter and search
Pause freezes the list so you can read it. New hits wait behind a new button that resumes the stream and jumps back to the top. The type menu and the search box filter what is on screen by path, event, referrer, visitor or country without changing what arrives. The counter shows hits per minute.
Workspace map
Choose Live in the sidebar, below All websites, to watch every website at once. Each hit with a location becomes a pulse in its website's colour and fades after 30 seconds. The globe turns slowly while nothing happens; drag it or use the arrow keys to look around. Small screens, reduced motion and browsers without WebGL get a flat map with the same pulses. Next to the map, Latest hits lists the newest 100 hits across all websites.
What is kept
Nothing new. The stream and the map are not stored anywhere: they show hits your reports already count, and they disappear when you close the page. Locations are city-level estimates from the network edge, not GPS. Only the owner of a website can open its stream or see it on the map, and shared dashboards have no Live tab. Reports keep working exactly as before.
Limits
- Live stays open in up to eight tabs per account. Opening a ninth disconnects the oldest, which shows a Reconnect button.
- The stream keeps the newest 500 hits on screen.
- A tab hidden for more than a minute disconnects, then catches up when you come back.
